Government Contracts, 2017

Israeli whistleblower Dani Shemesh was the head of sales at CA Software Israel Ltd., between May 2006 and December 2008. A subsidiary of New York-headquartered CA Inc., the company was under a MAS contract with the General Services Administration, which included a price reduction clause.

During his time at the company Shemesh observed that non-government clients were getting better prices from CA than government agencies, sometimes receiving up to 98% discounts which were not reported to the GSA. In a 2009, False Claims Act lawsuit, Shemesh claimed 50-80% discounts were common practice at the company, but this was never disclosed to the government.

In March, 2017, a $45 million settlement was reached, and Shemesh received a whistleblower reward of over $10 million.
